    Pinball
    Created by: MetaWaddleDee

    Recommended Players: 2-16
    Required Gametype: Pinball

    Any seasoned veteran of the Halo trilogy will remember how stunned they were when they originally played Turf, how they were immobilized by the beauty of Valhalla, and how the first few glimpses of Lockout could not possibly compare to the faultless games played on that elevated creation. Pinball, created by MetaWaddleDee, is a whole new beast. You get absolutely none of the sensation that comes from those super serious maps. Instead, Pinball reaches those great heights in a different way; literally. It’s built floating in the air miles above sandbox. MetaWaddleDee built a very high map indeed, and actually made quite a fun mini-game to go along with it.

    You probably expect some boring, slow paced game that drags on for hours, a game that you can only play alone. There are unquestionably other things you would rather do while alone in your room, but that doesn’t matter now. Just check out this map! It’s built for crazy, chaotic, and fun gameplay for anyone above the age of 5. As long as you have two teams the game is fair; if you wished you could do a 1 v 15 and still have balance. That’s because when MetaWaddleDee designed Pinball, he created a map that takes skill to play, yet also cannot be ‘mastered.’ It’s something that you will never be the best at.

    Playing is easy enough; just spawn, shoot at the giant white ball, and if you manage to get it into the correct goal all you need to do for the score is jump through a conveniently located teleporter and instantly zoom to a territory capture for the win! That way even the most mentally impaired members of the community, such as myself, still have a chance at winning this fun, unique, and friendly game. So go ahead and give it a download, you won't regret it.

    This looks like another amazingly fun mini game. I don't know how I missed seeing it.

    Oh, and nice write up, DY.

    Congrats Meta! This is one of the few mini-games I enjoy.

    You've got to be pretty good at forge for your three featured maps to be different categories (Aesthetic, Competitive, Mini-game)!

    Great job!

    Why isn't there an option: "Best damn halo 3 map of all time." for the voting? Seriously bro, I've told you time and time again, this is... the best damn halo 3 map of all time.

    I've played this quite a few times now, and find it makes a great way to entertain a party. It's short and fun, and a cool map to add to the mix for a night of customs. Nice job Meta!

    Ha! I told you so Meta, and don't worry about the Reach version, it's only going to be more epic than this version, you really are my favorite Halo 3 forger ♥

    Congratulations on the feature. If anything, this is a totally new game, and that's hard to come by after almost 3 years of forging. Great job.

    It's nice to see this mini game getting the recognition it deserves Eric. Yeah, you'll definitely have to make a sequel to this in Reach as soon as you can. And until then I'll be loading this up at least once a custom night with or without you!

    Thanks for all your hardwork man, people like you make our customs as awesome as they are.
